I think living culturally relevantly basically means just be a friend to your neighbor. It doesn't mean you have to watch all the new movies, wear certain clothes, or talk shop. It means you are there for your neighbors when it counts, without trying to relate everything in yours and their life back to Christianity. Doing so makes us seem unreal, like we don't understand anything in life outside the influence of the church. That doesn't mean we have to dumb ourselves down. If theres anything we could learn from this last election it is painting yourself as the average Joe, makes you seem ignorant and unqualified to be a leader. Love your neighbor, be there for them, and when opportunities arise, real opportunities, share the gospel. I agree.
